1 John chapter 4, verse 14.

And we have seen and testify that the father has sent his son to be the savior of the world.

Yes, what a great verse to meditate on and pray according to on Christmas Eve.

We have seen and we testify that the father has sent his son to be the savior of the world.

This is the greatest news in the world.

This is news that has power to transform lives forever.

And even as we gather together for worship gatherings on Christmas Eve,

let's pray that God would use our lives to make this news known to testify to it. Oh,

let's pray together. Let's just jump right in. God, we praise you that all of your promises, all throughout

the Old Testament, even as we read through different passages in the Old Testament in this Advent season,

just anticipating your coming, putting ourselves in the shoes of those who are longing for

your coming, Jesus. We praise you that it has happened,

that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world, that we are not waiting anymore,

that we have salvation in Jesus. Jesus, we praise you as the Savior of the world. And we pray that you would save today.

We pray that as we gather together in worship gatherings, in churches, that you would save,

show your salvation, bring people to salvation. We pray. As we're going around and spending

time with friends, family members, as we're in stores talking to

different people, God, we pray that you would help us to boldly testify. We've seen and can testify.

The father sent the son to be the savior of the world. So help us to testify that today. Use

our lips to introduce people to Jesus today. We pray that they might know him as the Savior of the world.

God, we pray this not just here, but around the world.
